"Caretaker" Line-by-Line

Kim: There's no indication of stable matter. All this must be some kind of holographic projection.

 

Aunt Adah: Oh, you poor things. You must be tired out. Come on and sit down and rest awhile. Have a cold drink, hmm?

 

Janeway: No, thank you. My name is Kathryn Janeway, Captain of the Federation Starship, Voyager.

 

Aunt Adah: Now, just make yourselves right at home. The neighbours should be here any minute. Oh! Why, here they are!
(A group of people arrive.)

 

CARETAKER: Well, good to see you. Welcome.

 

DAUGHTER: We're real glad you dropped by.

 

Aunt Adah: Now we can get started. You're all invited to the welcoming bee!

 

The Caretaker starts playing the banjo as Janeway, the crew and the audience think "what the?" as the show goes to commercial

Paris: The crew is scattered around this farm, Captain. But they're all accounted for.

 

JANEWAY: Move around. Scan the area. See if you can find anything that might be a holographic generator.

 

Aunt Adah: Have some nice fresh corn on the cob. Fresh corn on the cob. Corn on the cob. Corn on the cob.

 

JANEWAY: Can you tell me why we're here?

 

AUNT ADAH: Oh, we don't mean you any harm. I'm sorry if we put you out. Why don't you just put your feet up and get comfortable while you wait?

 

JANEWAY: Wait for what?

 

AUNT ADAH: Isn't anybody hungry? Come on now, make yourselves at home. I'm sorry if we put you out.

(Kim and Paris walk around the house. A dog follows them.)

 

DAUGHTER: Hey, let me show you around. The root cellar's right over there.

 

KIM: What's down there?

 

DAUGHTER: Potatoes, onions. But it's real private.

 

KIM: Paris, she's only a hologram.

 

PARIS: No reason to be rude.

 

KIM: Whoa.
